no luck in La Clusaz

... I'm back from La CLusaz radikal Mountain, which was a 4 star event of the Freeride World Qualification Tour. La Clusaz is a nice little village in France with alot of possibilities to get stoked from some sick or smooth freeride action. Normaly.
Unfortunately it was raining up to the peaks a few days ago, so we did not have any nice pow pow.


The face was was about 600 vertical meter and with this conditions it was really exhausting...
I got the last start number (for man 71), so I had to deal with changing conditions and alot of tracks. Anyway, I skied pretty fast in the upper part of the venue and stomped the first cliff,


so I thought the hardest part was done.

But close before the end I jumped over a pumb with some bushes and landed in a bomb hole of an earlier competitor.


That was the end of my run... my bindings double ejected.

ready for the competitions

I'm feeling really fit, after all the preparation training and a short trip to Barcelona.
So now it's time to start the competition season, therefor I'll start my way to La Clusaz (France 4* comp) in a few minutes...
it's about 7 & 1/2 hours drive from Austria, through Switzerland, to France.

Here are some pix which were shot in the end of december by Mad Moe.

enjoy
